true because, like this great coustry of ours,

Henry VrOoman is a laboriDg man. He came to

uponsthe willamette river for rars he came TO
san Francisco in II IS; stayed there short time
only, when he went to Butte county and lato!ed
upon ranch; he was a driver of oxen, a newer
OF wood aud 4 herder of cattle, from that
time until 1861, when he concluded that
he ought to do something better for
himself than tsa1 and then at a
place out here somewhere called Shaw's Flat.
he began tn learn the trade of blacksmith, and
from 1861 Henry Frooman earned his dollar and
and half or two dollars Il day, as the case may
be- at a forge in blacksmith shop until 1861.
Seven sears this man worked to support and
educate himself which latter he did in his
leisure hours, going to school by night all the
time. He went to Oakland in 1867 Then il

that there ought 10 be something better In th,

delights to honor by placing his name before

Henry NroomaIf, only thirteen years ago, was
engineer of q fire company III Oakland. think
it was PhGenix Company, No. ], and while engi-
neer of that company he spent his spare mo-
ments in the study OF his future profession, at
ment to perform his duty engineer. The
result of this iudomitable energy is that he is
to-day one of the most thorough lawyers in the
State OF California. Henry NTcoiean is and has

succeed today i'll the election OF Henry NrOot

cry out from the bottom of his heart. All hail.
| Henry NIoOman; in you we see The triumph Of
one of our own people Ill yon we feel that We
can repose our hearts best desires in safety l
say, Mr. President, that the Republican party
to-day is proud to present the name of Henry
Nrooman before this Senate. II is an honor
which he did not seek his election to the Cfice
which he holds i'll the State Senate to-day IS an
honor which he did not seek-in his absence he
was nominated and elected The issue in Ala
media county was NroOmau and anti-Nrooman:
his friends presented his name. secured his
nomination and at the election, when ne
had no reason TO expect a very great
majority he was overwhelmingly chosen by a
vote of over 800 above that OF his antagonist.
THIS is d Spontaneous act by the Republicans of
this Legislature. In the name Of the man who
earns his daily bread by the sweat OF his brow;
| in the name of him who has the ambition and
will to elevate his position in life in .the

day that he commenced his course at the lowest
round of the ladder. ON liies bedrock. using
the pariance of my mining county, he laid the
foundation of his magnificent career in truth,
honesty and industry. and then builded with
noble pu pose and grand aspirat Ons. While his
boy associates were pursuing frivolous pleasures
he was TO be found consuming the midnight oil,
IN solving problems without the aid of u teach
er. when working as blacksmith at the forge.
during intervals of relaxation from exhaustive
toll with one hand he wiped away the big
sweat drops, and with the other he turned the
leaves OF his Latin grammar. After col
lecting a sufficient amount Of money 10

found position in the Oakland school College,
and, after taking preparatory course, he
gained admittance into Cornell University.
Coming back to California, he applied himself
to the study of the law, and shorty after being
admitted to the bar WAS elected IL City Attorney,
then District Attorney. and in short time he
cleaned forth like a fixed star upon the fore
mead of the horizon OF the legal profession
What he has been in connection with the Re-
publican party as n political leader is well
known by both Democrats and Republicans.
His moral character is beyond TeprogcD. His
executive capacity, perhaps, can hardly be
equailed, and his Judgment is most unerring.
His decisions are always satisfactory and con-
elusive 10 the party of which he is the hOnored
head Physical aud mental eXcit'ous have un-
dc trmined his physical orgauEn. This brings -
nv mind the current incident respecting tha
young man who Oh one occasion Went to the
great statesman. Daniel Webster ard said
in q melancholy msnner: Il find il very
hard sir, to obtain Standing room in the midst
OF the crowded bar" the only reply OF that
magnificent states man was g Plenty OF room
on The upper It as Yes, we fud plenty of room
in the upper galleries. but the majority o. those
who CccEpy such lofty positions are found
broken down. soiied with sweat aud having
their hands and banners stained with blood.
That vital organ that throbs within the bosom
OF that noble has been shattered in Its
power indications of organ disease are now
apparent in the circles arOuId his eyes. He
does not expect to live 10 n proTaCted period
at any moment he may fail on the battlefield.
Is it not, gentlemen, worthy Of the party that
he has labOred for 50 long VIII II not be in
the interests of our honor 20 place upon his
brow this chaplet OF glory before he falls; no
ina ter when his body sinks. he will continue
to live ON and TO speak on as long as time shall
last.
